According to police spokesperson, Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo, Mohammed was jogging along Munnik Avenue in Ster Park at 06:30 this morning (March 13) when a white VW Polo drove past him and made a u-turn.

“The vehicle stopped next to him and a passenger got out of the car and shot the victim several times at point blank. The suspects then fled the scene,” he said.

Mohammed was a lecturer at the University of Limpopo and a chartered accountant.

“The motive is unknown at this stage,” Mojapelo said.
